**PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A VIRTUAL PROGRAM THAT WILL TAKE PLACE VIA ZOOM. Registrants will receive a link to access the ZOOM webinar via email.**
Author and retired local police officer Dana Owen will discuss his true crime memoir, Shotgunned: The Long Ordeal Of A Wounded Cop Seeking Justice. As he pursued a hijacked truck with a hostage inside, Officer Dana Owen was "shotgunned" by desperate gangsters and hit, not once, but twice, in the head. Learn how Owen was able to help bring the fugitives to justice, before the clock on the statute of limitations ran out. Owen served as a Police Officer for 27 years in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, retiring as the Sergeant Armorer for the Massachusetts State Police. He is the recipient of several police citations including the Metropolitan Police Medal of Valor, the highest honor awarded.
